See http://www.mail-archive.com/blfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org/msg18911.html for instructions on how to build LightDM. Use Lightdm-GTK-Greeter (1.8.1 is the latest), configure it with --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc. I have no initscript for non-systemd systems though, but you just might modify kdm setup instructions and replace kdm with lightdm. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
